Abstract: Interruptions of user activity can cost time and money for organizations. Improved technology is needed for interruption and resumption management. A communication engine can monitor the task state of a user, receive an incoming matter, analyze the incoming matter with a classification model, compare the analyzed incoming matter with the priority of the task state of the user, and interrupt the user by providing the incoming matter to the user if the priority of the analyzed incoming matter is greater than the priority of the task state of the user. When the user would like to resume their interrupted task, the communication engine can provide an output refocus communication and automatically return the device software status to the task state of the user when the interruption occurred.
